Hi All Just thought I'd share this with you. All this week in Scarborough we have had a group of 30+ children aged between 10 - 15 in our town centre collecting signatures on a petition to end hunger and poverty in developing countries. These youngsters are very enthusiastic about what they are doing (I have been talking to them daily). They have a PA system, and are taking it in turns talking about poverty, they are also doing a lot of singing and dancing to get peoples attention and encourage them to join in. They are giving up their Easter holiday to do this. They put a huge smile on my face every day. I find it very encouraging to see a group of youngsters that are so entusiastic about something so important. love stef

Hey Stef It's great to see youngsters involve in these things and it's not that hard to accomplish. It does require some input from the adult world though...getting our butts out of the sofa and be an example to follow. Happy to hear about this good example Children are the greatest love Michael
